Science and Technology Daily, Tokyo, June 21 (Reporter Chen Chao) Recently, Japan is accelerating the pace of new crown vaccine development. Four biopharmaceutical companies have entered clinical trials, but have not completed clinical trials and applied for permission to market the vaccine.
The "DNA vaccine" developed by the Osaka-based bio-risk company Agilent has already undergone a 500-person clinical trial; Shiono Yoshitaka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., also located in Osaka, announced in May that its "recombinant protein vaccine" is in large-scale clinical trials. If conditions such as implementation methods and approval methods are available, vaccines can be provided within the year; Daiichi Sankyo announced in March this year that the "mRNA" vaccine developed by it has begun clinical trials for 152 people; KM located in Kumamoto City Biologics also announced in March this year that its "inactivated vaccine" has started clinical trials with 210 subjects. According to the current approval method, the permit will be obtained in 2023 at the earliest.
